Problem: the Render Queue had no single-file uncompressed output, so
handing a render to an external encoder meant a lossy codec, ProRes,
or an image sequence plus a separate WAV.
Fix: add the "QuickTime (Uncompressed)" Output Module format. Frames
are stored as QuickTime 'raw ' samples: 8-bit RGB (depth 24, rows
padded to even bytes) or ARGB with RGB + Alpha (depth 32), written
through FilmCraft's existing QuickTime muxer with PCM audio
(16/24-bit or float) like ProRes. Format name `uncompressed` on the
control channel; disk-space estimate and Sample Format menu included.

Problem: the Media Browser lists .mxf files, but File > Import's dialog
filtered them out and media::is_importable refused them, although the
pinned FilmCraft codecs behind crates/media already demux MXF (AVC,
MPEG-2 / XDCAM / D-10, VC-3 / DNxHD, ProRes, PCM audio) by content.
Fix: add "mxf" to VIDEO_EXTENSIONS and to the File > Import and Set
Proxy dialog filters. Tests check MPEG-2 4:2:2 long-GOP + 24-bit PCM and
DNxHD 36 MXF against ffmpeg frames (>35 dB, measured 64-67 dB), audio
level, and that the Import dialog offers MXF. AVI stays open: FilmCraft
has no AVI demuxer.

Problem: an animated WebP (e.g. ffmpeg -c:v libwebp_anim) imported as a
still and showed only its first frame; probe_bytes handed every WebP to
the still path. Found while measuring #719.
Fix: a webp_anim module, following the animated GIF path. Probing reads
the RIFF chunk headers (VP8X animation and alpha flags, one ANMF per
frame) and describes a WebP with two or more frames as Video footage
(codec "WebP", alpha Straight or Ignore from VP8X). Frame delays give the
rate: delays within 1 ms of each other read as the standard rate they
round to (24, 25, 29.97...), else 1000 / gcd of the delays so uneven
timing is exact; delays of 10 ms or less count as 100 ms as in browsers.
Frames are decoded once with the image crate's WebP AnimationDecoder and
cached in the pool's existing GIF slot; gif_anim::Anim now keeps frame
starts as Ticks and serves both formats. Canvas x frames beyond the
existing memory cap is refused before decoding; a damaged tail keeps the
frames before it; a file without frames is a clear decode error. Still
WebP stays a still.

Problem: the Media Browser listed .dpx files and After Effects imports
DPX and Cineon scans (stills and numbered sequences), but import
refused them: nothing could decode either format, and .cin was not even
an image to the browser, so its runs never grouped into sequences.
Fix: a small pure-Rust reader written from the public SMPTE 268M and
Kodak Cineon specifications (crates/media/src/dpx.rs): luma, RGB, RGBA
and ABGR at 8/10/12/16 bits, 10-bit filled method A/B, 12-bit in 16-bit
words, both byte orders, lines padded to 32-bit words, unrotated
orientations and the pixel aspect ratio; the codec names the transfer
(log, linear, ...) and code values are shown as stored. RLE, signed,
float, Y'CbCr, packed 10/12-bit and transposed files are refused with a
clear error; every header field is bounds-checked and the data length
verified before allocating. Probe and frame decode use it first;
is_importable, the Media Browser kinds and the import dialog list
.dpx/.cin.

Problem: the Media Browser lists .tga and .hdr files (and groups them into
image sequences), but media::is_importable had neither extension and the
still decoder never tried them, so importing them failed.
Fix: enable the image crate's built-in tga and hdr decoders (no new
dependency), add both to STILL_EXTENSIONS and the File > Import dialog, and
pick a still's format by signature with an extension fallback, since Targa
has no signature. Radiance HDR is linear float light and is sRGB-encoded like
OpenEXR (super-white kept); Targa alpha goes through the existing
unlabeled-alpha interpretation.

Problem: After Effects 26 imports FBX models into Advanced 3D comps; File > Import rejected
.fbx, so FBX product shots and scenes could not be used.
Fix: a clean-room FBX 7.x reader in effectcraft-model (binary node records with 32/64-bit
offsets and zlib arrays, ASCII syntax) and a scene builder: meshes with normals, UVs and
per-polygon materials, the Model hierarchy with the SDK transform (pivots, offsets, pre/post
rotation, rotation order, geometric transform), Lambert/Phong materials onto
metallic-roughness with embedded or relative textures, and GlobalSettings axes turned to
Y-up. Wired into import, probing, the media browser and the file dialog. Hostile input
(truncation, corruption, huge arrays, deep nesting) fails with an error.

Problem: After Effects 26.3 pastes copied vector artwork as shape layers. Edit ▸ Paste only
knew the app's own clipboard, so SVG markup on the system clipboard was ignored; turning SVG
into shapes needed an imported footage file and Create Shapes from Vector Layer.
Fix: a new `edit.pasteSvg {svg, name?, comp?}` command builds a shape layer from SVG text with
the same conversion as Create Shapes from Vector Layer (paths, fills, strokes, gradients, clip
masks), above the selected layer with the SVG canvas centred in the comp, as one undo step;
oversized, non-SVG or shapeless text is rejected. In the UI, Ctrl/Cmd+V (and the native Edit ▸
Paste) run it when the system clipboard holds SVG. Copying in the app already replaces the
system clipboard with a note, so SVG there is newer than the app's clipboard.

Problem: After Effects 26 imports STL models besides glTF and OBJ; we
refused .stl files, and the Media Browser and import dialog did not list
them as models.
Fix: a pure-Rust STL reader in effectcraft-model (binary and ASCII,
detected from the contents; several ASCII solids and polygon loops;
VisCAM/SolidView and Materialise Magics facet colours as plain
materials; Z-up turned to the model's Y-up; faceted normals from the
winding). Truncated, empty or non-finite input is an error, never a
crash. .stl is now a model extension for import, probing, the Media
Browser, the import dialog and the system report.
